"Once upon a time in a land far, far away..." Sylas, a collector of items both wondrous and unusual, seeks out the latest additions to his trove with a somewhat unusual prize for the finder.

Terrors and towers await; fierce battles with giant beasts; striding boldly to rescue a dwarf in distress! Not a quest for the meek or the faint of heart, prepare yourself for a feast of fairytale fun with rewards a-plenty! The Brothers Grimm could never have foretold a tale such as this...

Proceed to the northeastern part of White Wolf Mountain and talk to Grimgnash. Brag about him being a powerful griffin and then tell him a bedtime story. Talk to him again to begin narrating the following story (See Below). As soon as Grimgnash has fallen asleep, grab a Griffin's feather from the nearby pile and return to Sylas.

Head to the little tower a between Ice Mountain and the Goblin Village. Climb over its eastern crumbling wall and then talk into the drain pipe to learn that Rupert the Beard has been imprisoned at the top of the tower by princess Miazrqa. Talk into the pipe again and suggest that you can climb up. Then, ask him if there is anything in the tower that could help and he will let down his beard.

Climb up the beard and talk to Rupert the Beard again. He inform you that princess Miazrqa, wandering around outside, is related to the witch last seen with Winkin the gnome, who disappeared when he was delivering ogleroots to the market in Draynor Village. Rupert will then tell you the princess imprisoned him when he tried questioning her about it. He will then ask you to go speak to the princess.

Climb down the beard and talk to Miazrqa, wandering around north of the tower. Choose for the option "second cousin, twice removed". She will then tell you that she will let Rupert go if you retrieve her Pendant from the witch's house in Taverley. Before leaving, ask her for the Door key to the witch's house.

Make your way to the witch's house, south of Taverley, and head inside using the Door key. Go into the northern room and then climb down the ladder into the basement.

Note: The easiest way to reach the witch's house is by using the Taverley lodestone and then running south.

Once inside the basement, put on any pair of leather gloves. Go through the gate and grab the Music sheet from the stand. Go back through the gates and play the notes from the sheet on the piano until a secret compartment opens. The correct notes are Upper E, Upper F, Upper E, Upper D, Upper C, Lower A, Lower E, Lower G, Lower A. Search the piano to find 2 Shrunk ogleroots, a
Shrinking potion recipe, and a
To-do list.

Note: If you open the gate whilst not wearing leather gloves, you will take damage equal to 20% of your current Life points.

Once inside the mouse hole, you will have to find your way through a maze of rooms by climbing up and down nails. Follow the directions below to find your way through. Once you've reached the end of it, pick up Miazrqa's pendant from the floor and teleport out.

Climb up the nails near the middle of the room, along the eastern wall.

Walk to the southwest side of the room and then climb the nails on the northern wall.

Climb up another set of nails just south of where you ended up.

Head to the northeast part of the room and climb down the nails.

Run north and climb up a final set nails to reach a room with a pendant.

Prepare yourself for combat and climb up the beanstalk. Now, you will have to kill Glod (level 68). Beware, he can drain your prayer, turn off your prayers at will, and he can heal himself to up to half of his health. If you wish to attack him using Ranged or Magic, then hide behind the pillars and rocks. However, when fighting behind a safe spot, he will taunt you into leaving your spot and fighting him face to face. Turn on protect from melee when he does.

Note: Pets and familiars are not allowed up the beanstalk, whether they are following you or in your inventory.

Once Glod has been killed, pick up the Golden goblin and return to Sylas. He will then tell you to cut down the beanstalk. Use the last Shrink-me-quick potion on it and then cut it down.

Note: If you lost the potion, then you will have to gather each of the ingredients again. To obtain a new Shrunk ogleroot, climb down the manhole near the witch's house and kill one of the Experiments (level 64).
